The thirty second summary:

"We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology. Our unification is a more powerful weapon than any fleet or army on Earth. We are one people. With one will. One resolve. One cause. We shall prevail!"

edit: My point is that the speech was complete demagoguery. It didn't contain a single concrete idea, just hollow bromides and feel-good bullshit.

What would you say in a victory speech? He was basically just thanking Iowa; there's not much more to say.

It's not like he was expected to describe his policies or anything.

Which is why it's barely news-worthy, much less 'Hacker'-news-worthy.

And for people who enjoy the news of early-primary-results, and the rhetoric of candidates, the mass media is already inundated with it. Does it add value here? Can't YC-News specialize and focus where it has an advantage?
